With massive budget cuts coming down from both Governor Patterson and Mayor Bloomberg ($1.2 billion and $1 billion by 2010, respectively), help isn’t likely to come soon. The overloaded court system is working as fast as possible, but many children are languishing in foster care for years waiting for their case to be heard in court.
